FROM THE SECRET ARIA T ...

The feverish pace in the secretariat this summer reflects the heat of the Georgia out­ of-doors. As organizational center for the 1989 Annual Meeting, we bustle with activi­ ty. A whole wall is covered with newsprint charts recording room assignments. The phones ring constantly as program committee members and program participants call in changes and developments in the program. Decisions are a way of life - choosing among delicious African entrees for the banquet, deciding on a time for the reception at the Congolese painting exhibition, planning the setting for an expected address by Andrew Young, Mayor of Atlanta and former US ambassador to the UN. In addition to a fine program of scholarly panels and presentations (see the prelimi­ nary schedule, beginning p. 51), we plan a host of special events. The film program will be unique to the ASA experience, featuring new works by contemporary African filmmakers, including the grand prize winner from the 1989 Ouagadougou film festival. A keynote conference on the Horn of Africa will take place at the Carter Center of Emory UniverSity during the first day, November 2; Jimmy Carter will be one of the participants in those sessions. Adebayo Adedeji, Executive Secretary of the UN Eco­ nomic Commission for Mrica, has tentatively accepted an invitation to address a plenary session on structural adjustment and economic recovery. Jonathan Mann, head of the World Health Organization's AIDS efforts, is also a tentative speaker on the ASA program. 3

Atlanta should be at her best for our meeting. Our subway line. MARTA. began service from the airport terminal just one year ago. offering us convenient and inexpen­ sive transportation into the heart of the city. Just a few days ago we watched the reopen­ ing of Underground Atlanta. a shopping-eating-entertainment complex within walking distance of the Hyatt Regency. the ASA convention hotel. We hope that we've scheduled enough "breathing" time for participants to explore areas of interest: "Sweet Auburn Avenue," the historic heart of black Atlanta that in­ cludes the King historic district with Ebeneezer Baptist Church and the Martin Luther King birth home; the Atlanta University Center area with the campuses of six predomi­ nantly black institutions, especially Atlanta University, where W. E. B. Du Bois spent the larger part of his teaching career; the Carter Presidential Center with its museum and library. By happy coincidence, Big Bethel A.M.E. Church will be presenting its annual production of "Heaven Bound" the weekend of our meeting, and ASA members will be offered an opportunity to reserve tickets to that event. Pre-registration packets, including details about the special events, hotel reserva­ tions, travel discounts, and other essential information, will be mailed to ASA members in late July. The number of rooms available in the Hyatt Regency Hotel is limited. Members who wish to avoid the hotel reservations rush may call in advance at 404-577­ 1234. The convention rate is $70 single and $80 double; be sure to mention the ASA Annual Meeting. See you in November! Edna G. Bay

LETTERS

Dear Friend, I am writing to ask your assistance in a vital enterprise. We are poised again to seek passage in Congress of full. comprehensive sanctions against South Africa. Last year, thanks to your help. the sanctions bill passed the House of Representa­ tives by a vote of 244-132 and passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. But, it failed to come to the Senate floor. This year, we are starting first in the Senate. Senator Paul Simon, (D-Ill.), Chair­ man of the Africa Subcommittee, has introduced a comprehensive sanctions bill (S. 507) in the Senate. He is planning hearings before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in July and hopes for prompt passage by the Committee. The vote in the Committee, and the subsequent vote by the full Senate will be crucial. It is imperative that we have a majority of Senate Foreign Relations Committee members committed to support S. 507 by mid-July, and a majority of the full Senate by the first of August. Senate Foreign Relations Committee members are a key to victory. Assured commitments preclude unnecessary compromise. Once we are assured of a Senate floor vote, we will move the bill in the House. We 4

expect to win there. The House process will begin in the Committee on Foreign Affairs. We are asking every organization and each concerned person to get involved in the effon. We ask you to contact your local Congressperson and ask them to cosponsor and! or support H.R. 21 (the House version of comprehensive sanctions). We would like to know any response that is received. V'e are at a critical point. If we don't go forward, we could begin to lose ground. I hope we can count on you. Your support is very much appreciated. Ifthere are any questions, please contact Bob Brauer of my staff at (202) 225-266 L Sincerely, Ronald V. Dellums Member of Congress

Professor Nzongola-Ntalaja Howard University

Dear Professor: We are writing you this letter with the purpose of letting you know that the De­ partamento de Ciencias Sociales of the University of Lujan is planning to foster the studies, research work and teaching staff, in order to deal with the specific subjects con­ cerning the countries, regions and peoples of Africa. At this moment a permanent semi­ nary has started to operate about "Present Day Problems of the African States" and an area of Africa was created in the Division of History. Our country has not got enough resources to aquire the up-to-date bibliography re­ quired; therefore we ask you to collaborate with us, sending us your publications and other materials which might contribute to build up our library and create a Documenta­ tion Centre concerning these subjects, which would facilitate research work. Besides, it would be of great use to us if you, ifpossible, would put us into contact with other professors, institutes and centres devoted to the same spheres of interest, con­ sidering a possible relationship of interchange and collaboration. Expecting an answer from you, we remain Yours Sincerely, Professor Maria Elena Vela Responsable del Area de Africa y Asia

PROVISIONAL MINUTES

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING Saturday, May 6, 1989. 9:30 am. Room Essex B, Hyatt Regency Hotel, Atlanta.

Present: Ottenberg (Chair), Azevedo, Baker, Barnes. Berger, Gephart, /saacman, Miller, Nketia, Nzongola-Ntalaja, Seidman, Bay (Exec. Sec.) Guest: Mark DeLancey

1. Approval or October 1988 Board meeting minutes and matters arising Baker moved approval of the minutes. Isaacman seconded. and the motion carried unanimously. Bay requested clarification of the Board decision regarding donation of ASA member publications to the AAAS-ACLS project (ASA News. vol. XXII, no. 1, Jan/Mar 1989, p. 17). The minutes of the October 1988 meeting are unclear if all publications are to be sent or only the African Studies Review. Seidman moved that all member publications be sent and that a note requesting exchange materials be included. The motion was seconded by Berger and passed. Seidman suggested that ASA member publications be sent worldwide on an exchange basis. Members expressed concern about an appropriate repository for materials received and about the costs in staff time, printing and postage. Seidman moved that ASA take a staged approach to the exchange question in which: 1) the Archives-Libraries and Publications Committees would research the question of an appropriate repository for materials received, 2) letters would be sent to institutions all 6 over the world to request and work out an exchange relationship, 3) adequate costs would be estimated and 4) a proposal to fund the exchanges would be prepared. Nzongola-Ntalaja seconded the motion which passed.

2. Report of the Executive Secretary The following written report was discussed:

Finances: We compiled the fInancial records at the end of 1988 with great relief. Our outstanding debts to UCLA had been paid off and we finished the year with a small surplus. Several factors contributed to this modest success. First, Emory University's contribution of $31.000 in cash plus salary for student assistants was invaluable. Second, we were as tight-fisted as possible in our own opera­ tions, which helped keep expenses low. I would urge the Board to view our fmancial status with concern, though not alarm. In order to undertake the many worthy projects that are discussed by this Board and to insure the long-term viability of the Association, we will need to increase our own income and assets over the next several years. ASA Treasurer Joe Miller visited the secretariat in February, reviewed our records and procedures, provided us with valuable recommendations for improve­ ments and discussed our fInancial policies with the ASA accountant. He will report on our fmances later in this meeting.

Membership: Renewals of institutional members are complete and more than 2{3 of the in­ dividual members have renewed to date. We anticipate growth in individual mem­ berships this year, though we will not be able to determine the exact size of that increment until the fall. The various transitions that have been made in our member publications are now complete. Issue is on a regular twice-yearly schedule, with the summer edition scheduled to be sent from the printer within 10 days. We have had re­ quests for classroom copies of the last two issues and are printing additional copies of the current issue, an update on women in Africa, to meet that demand. Editor Harvey Glickman is to be complimented on the quality of his work. Carol Thompson has editorial processes for African Studies Review well in hand. The new book review editor, Mark DeLancey, began his work in January, and the fIrst reviews solicited by him will be published in the forthcoming issue of the journal. The Publications Committee has been considering bids to publish the journal and will report fully on their deliberations later today. We have been working hard to bring the journal out in a more timely fashion. The April 1989 issue is now being proofread and will go to the printer shortly. As­ suming that we are able to keep to our expected publication schedule, the Septem­ ber and December 1989 issues will come out on time. ASA News is on schedule. We continue to solicit ideas and short articles in the hope of increasing the interest of the newsletter.

Crossroads Press: We expect publication soon of our two latest titles, African Musicology: 7

Current Trends and American and Canadian Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses on Africa. The former is expected from the printer this month. The latter is in the final stages of formatting. The Publications Committee is reviewing two possible additional publica­ tions and considering ways to reorganize the review processes for prospective Crossroads titles. They will report to you on these matters in due course. History in Africa, which is being produced with computer formatting for the first time, is scheduled to be sent to the printer by the end of this month. We hope to increase subscriptions through an advertising campaign this summer, so that a publication of the quality of HA reaches the broader audience it deserves.

Reincorporation and Merger: Our attorney is moving ahead with final documents to effect the merger of ASA-New York with the Delaware corporation that this Board created a year ago. If all goes as anticipated, the merger will be complete within a few weeks and we will begin operations as a Delaware corporation this summer. From a practical point of view. the only visible change will be the move to a July I-June 30 fiscal year for 1989-90. a change that in fact was approved by the ASA member­ ship for the NY corporation in 1987.

Relationship to other Scholarly Organizations: I attended the fall and spring meetings of the American Council of Learned Societies as a guest of that organization. You will recall that in the Board dis­ cussion of the ACLS this past fall we had anticipated that ASA's participation in ACLS should provide benefits to the Association. I am pleased to report that this is very much the case. Not only did I gain valuable specific information that we have been able to apply to the operations of the secretariat. but it is clear that ASA can only gain from being part of an active network of like organi­ zations. As our discussions continue over the next two days. I expect to be of­ fering information and ideas based on the use that we've already made of our con­ tacts with colleagues in other organizations. The formal application for ACLS membership was submitted this spring. The membership committee of ACLS reviews applications from prospective members in September each year and makes recommendations to the ACLS Board for review at their January meeting. Thus, assuming that we are accepted. ASA should become an ACLS member by early 1990. We have been in touch with the organizers of the AAAS-ACLS journals-to­ Africa program. AAAS has agreed to accept our contributions of journals and we expect to ship them recent issues upon their instructions in the near future. Two meetings of NCASA, the informal organization of area studies associa­ tions, have taken place since this Board last met and were attended respectively by Nzongola-Ntalaja and by me. CAFLIS was a major item on the agendas of both meetings, as the information circulated to you in preparation for the Board's discussion of that organization's work will indicate. The members of NCASA con­ tinue to fmd our discussions of mutual problems and interests of great value.

ASA Committees: I accepted an invitation from the ASA Archives-Libraries Committee and at­ 8

tended a portion of that group's spring meeting at the University of Florida in early April. As you know, Archives- Libraries is not only the oldest of the ASA affiliated groups, but certainly one of. the most active. In addition to their various bibliographic projects, Archives-Libraries has produced a recommended list of African institutions for the use of the AAAS-ACLS project. This spring, they were at work drawing up recommendations for librarians planning to travel to South Africa. Archives-Libraries as a group has been a tremendous help to me over this past year, as I have taken the liberty to call its individual members for all kinds of advice relating to our operations. As this Board recommended in the fall, we permitted ACASA to add our tax­ payer ID number to their bank account. They submitted a full report on their 1988 financial activities for the use of our accountants. The arrangement is simple, direct, and meets with the approval of our attorney and accountant. I would recommend that it be continued if ACASA so desires.

Secretariat Staff: Our secretariat operations are running with a certain efficiency, thanks to the knowledge we acquired last year-and that we continue to acquire. Norma Miller is at the center of our operation. keeping track of the varied activities of our part-time staff. She deserves congratulations for her mastery of the computerized bookkeeping system and her well-demonstrated ability to handle virtually any situation with grace and good humor. Lee Barnes joined us as a half-time employee in January. Her background in anthropology and her familiarity with ASA members has been useful in her work with us. Keith Belton, a graduate student who has worked with us now a full year, continues to improve our computer operations in addition to handling all Crossroads Press orders. Mary Coleman, our undergraduate work-study assistant, has continued with us this year. We hope to keep her a part of our staff until her graduation from Emory in 1991. We regret the departure at the end of this semes­ ter of Maria Pramaggiore, our computer formatter who is also a PhD student. Maria will be replaced by Kim Loudermilk, a doctoral student with a background in journalism and a good deal of organizational experience. Finally, Rosemary Hynes. a doctoral candidate in American history at Boston University, joined us in early 1989 as program assistant for the Annual Meeting. Our staff has been without exception loyal and hardworking. I am sure you will join me in complimenting them on their efforts.

Members asked that all agenda information in future be prepared in a single indexed packet. Isaacman moved a motion of thanks to the Executive Secretary for the health and good state of the ASA. The motion was seconded by Nzongola-Ntalaja and passed.

3. Finance Committee Report Berger reported that the Finance Committee had reviewed financial documents and de­ termined that the ASA is in good financial condition, with a small surplus from 1988. She thanked the Treasurer for his work. The Committee made the following recommenda­ tions: 1) Board members if possible shOUld find support from their own institutions to cover the costs of their participation at the ASA Annual Meeting, and 2) the Committee reiterates the Board policy on reimbursement of Board expenses: air fare, hotel and $25 9 per diem only. baacman noted that, in principle, Board members should not be forced to subsidize the ASA. Seidman suggested that the Board economize by staying in university dormito­ ries at the spring meeting. and Onenberg indicated that other options will be considered for the future. Azevedo suggested that the secretariat pre-pay Board members' lodging in future. Miller presented the budget for fiscal year 1989-90, indicating that a new format had been created for its organization. Efforts are being made to show sources of income that have otherwise remained hidden in the past, with the goal a broader summary of ASA income than was possible under previous budgeting formats. Isaacman moved acceptance of the budget. The motion was seconded by Bames and carried. Miller reported briefly on his site visit to the secretariat in February, noting that he had reported on that visit to President Ottenberg who in turn circulated the report to the Finance Committee. He noted that the ASA had received a good deal of fmancial support from Emory University. Miller will attend all Board meetings and will be prepared, as Treasurer, to present his advice as necessary. Bay noted that the Distinguished Africanist A ward does not include support for the recipient to travel to the Annual Meeting to accept the award. Baker suggested soliciting support from publishers while Bames noted that other groups do not support the travel of award recipients. DeLancey noted that an ASA endowment fund would be a possible source of support. Seidman moved that the Finance Committee be asked to explore options for the funding of the Distinguished Africanist Award. Isaacman seconded the motion which carried. The Board considered and approved a request from the Women's Caucus that the ASA permit the use of its taxpayer ID number for its bank account. Concern was expressed that the Board have complete access to all financial records of ASA groups with independent accounts.

4. Relationship between the ASA and AASP DeLancey described the activities of the 35-member Association of African Studies Programs. In addition to meeting at the time of the ASA Annual Meeting, the AASP meets each spring. normally in Washington, to foster communication links between African studies pro grams and funding bodies. DeLancey noted that in the past an ASA Board member usually has by chance also been a representative of her/his institution to AASP, and hence the organizations have had a channel of communication. At the moment. however, this is not the case. AASP thus proposes that when there is no common member of the ASA Board and the AASP, the two organizations send representatives with the status of non-voting observer to each others' meetings. Isaacman recommended that the Executive Secretary be the regular representative. though members pointed out that attendance at AASP meetings at the time of the Annual Meeting might be difficult. It was agreed that the president should attend the fall AASP meeting or delegate a representative from the Board to attend. Seidman moved that the ASA Board accept the proposal with the proviso that the AASP representative absent him or herself from the discussion of confidential issues. Isaacman seconded the motion which passed. 10

5. CAFLIS The Board considered the third draft of a proposal under consideration by CAFLIS to establish a federal entity to promote foreign language and international studies. Members expressed concern that the rationale not reflect only national security and business inter­ ests. Gephart cautioned that the Board should be concerned with the content of the pro­ posal rather than the rationale for it. The Board agreed that the next draft of the proposal would be circulated and members would send their comments to the president so that he might develop a response in conjunction with the Executive Committee. Assuming that the draft would be made available in a timely fashion, the response would be communicated to the members of the CAFLIS Working Group prior to their June 26, 1989 meeting.

6. Publications Committee Report Nzongola-Ntalaja reported that the new book review editor, Mark DeLancey, had met with the committee and described plans for reviews, including the introduction of book notes or short reviews and of review essays to correspond to special issue themes of the journal. He indicated that a letter was being sent to congratulate editor Carol Thompson on her work to date on the journal. Carol Thompson prepared and submitted to the SSRC-ACLS Joint Committee on Africa a proposal for a new series of papers on future trends in African studies. In the absence of SSRC-ACLS support, the Publications Committee recommended launching the project and providing modest honoraria to persons who would contribute papers to the series. In discussion, Board members made a series of suggestions, noting that the project should be made the responsibility of the Publications Committee which should refine the themes and seek funding for honoraria and for publication. Nzongola-Ntalaja agreed to contact Thompson to discuss further with her possible directions for the project. The Publications Committee reviewed proposals by three publishers to take over publication of the African Studies Review. The Committee recommended continuing in­ house production for one more year, though contact will be maintained with Indiana Uni­ versity Press as a potential publisher. Meanwhile, efforts will be made to increase sub­ scribers, and the present format and cover of ASR will be redesigned. The Committee recommended publication of 1) a second volume of the Nketia fests­ chrift, to be published jointly with the African Studies Center of UCLA, and 2) an African arts bibliography series compiled by Janet Stanley of the National Museum of African Art. DeLancey is pursuing the possibility of the compilation and publication of a directory of opportunities in Africa. A directory of ASA members has been proposed for the 1990 membership year which will be distributed free of charge to ASA members.

7. Ad Hoc Committee on Annual Meetings Bames highlighted the major points of the written report produced by her committee (ASA News, vol. XXII, no. I, Jan/Mar 1989. pp. 18-19). In response to a recommenda­ tion of that committee, Martha Gephart was appointed last fall to organize a series of panels for the Baltimore ASA meeting. Gephart noted that she is working with Program Chair Willie Lamouse-Srnith and that she plans to organize 10-20 panels that will involve Latin American and Asian scholars to stress comparative perspectives. Barnes moved that Gephart formally be placed on the Program Committee for 1990 as the organizer of Board-sponsored panels. The motion was seconded by Seidman and passed. The Board agreed that such special sets of panels should not be designated 11

"sponsored," though they might be listed under a title that would highlight their thematic content. The Board discussed the possibility of beginning by 1991 or 1992 to appoint a na­ tional program chair who would not necesssarily be located at the Annual Meeting site. Members noted that in the past, individuals not located on site had organized special sets of panels. Nzongola- Ntalaja observed that a national program committee could be expen­ sive, since it would need to meet at least once, and Isaacman cautioned that a national committee would need to include a strong voice from the local organizing committee. Nketia pointed out that arrangements should depend on the location, particularly in a tran­ sition period to a national program committee. The Board agreed in principle that the As­ sociation move towards a national program committee rather than a locally-based commit­ tee. Seidman voiced concern that ASA members were being funded by the military to do research on African opposition movements. She noted that a proposal on US defense policy in Africa organized by persolUlel of the Department of Defense has been received for the 1989 Annual Meeting. Baker indicated that she urged the organizers of that panel to include a mix of government and academic viewpoints. Seidman suggested organizing a second panel to give an alternative viewpoint but Isaacman objected that ASA should not organize panels in response to all controversial issues. Seidman noted that ASA should discourage presentation of papers based on research funded by the US military. Miller and Isaacman recommended annual publication of the ASA statement on acceptance of funding from the Department of Defense.

8. Development Committee Report Nzongola-Ntalaja reported that the Committee discussed a concept paper prepared by Barnes on an outreach program for African studies. The Committee plans to apply for a planning grant to develop the project further. Seidman will prepare a draft proposal to be circulated prior to the fall meeting in which outreach activities focussed on thematic areas such as health, hunger, economic policy and conflict will be elaborated. The Development Committee discussed the crisis in higher education in Africa and urged the ASA to become active on this issue, sensitizing members through publications and panels at the Annual Meeting. Bay prepared and submitted to the Ford Foundation a proposal for continued funding of the International Visitors Program. No formal response has been received, though the impression has been given that the proposal will be funded. The Committee recommended setting up a fund for the ASA and that members be en­ couraged to contribute, particularly through the donation of their royalties. The Board ac­ cepted the recommendation. It also discussed life memberships and referred that question to the Finance Committee. In discussion, Isaacman urged that past presidents and Board members be contacted as a first effort in raising funds. Seidman expresssed concern about the desperation of the fmancial crisis in Africa. In addition to the writing of the Development Committee outreach proposal, she urged 1) that a panel at the 1989 Annual Meeting be organized on structural adjustment and that someone from the UN Economic Commission for Africa be brought for a plenary session on the subject; 2) that because of the comparative nature of the problem. colleagues from Latin American and Asian studies be invited to participate on panels; 3) that a research agenda be prepared to explore the nature of the problem; 4) that the research agenda include the effect of these economic policies on the US; and 5) that efforts be made to en­ 12 courage collaborative work with colleagues in Africa on these questions. In discussion, Board members noted that considerable lead time would be necessary to carry out all of Seidman's suggestions. It was agreed that the president would invite an official of the UNECA to speak on the question of structural adjustment and that a repre­ sentative of the International Monetary Fund would be invited to respond.

9. African Students in the US Seidman proposed a panel for the 1989 Annual Meeting focussed on the question of what ASA members might do to help African students in the US know more about their own communities and thus be willing to return to Africa. She noted the project at Clark University designed to reverse the African brain drain. Ottenberg recommended that the panel or roundtable be planned for 1990.

10. Outreach Committee The Board considered a request from the Outreach Committee that ASA fund the re­ printing of their brochure. Berger moved approval, Nzongola-Ntalaja seconded, and the motion passed. Seidman urged that the brochure be sent to all ASA members.

11. ASA Policy on Political Positions Ottenberg referred to the discussion at the fall Board meeting in which Amnesty Inter­ national requested that ASA write on behalf of African academic prisoners of conscience (ASA News, vol. XXII, no. 1, JanjMar 1989, pp. 16-17). He noted that the formal ASA policy refers only to resolutions at the Annual Business meeting. The relevant resolution, which was rejected in 1977 by a vote of 290 to 222, read: "It is appropriate for resolu­ tions on political issues that arise in relation to African affairs to be moved, debated, and voted upon at the annual business meeting." Nzongola-Ntalaja observed that the problem is defining the political and that parti­ sanship is the key. Isaacman argued that a moral imperative required a stand on a variety of issues and that each Board would be compelled to make its own decision. Berger suggested that the Board prepare a statement on the assassination of Profes­ sor David Webster in South Africa. Baker argued that the precedent of speaking out on one individual death would obligate the Board to take a stand on every killing. Other members noted that it would be elitist and racist should ASA take stands only on academ­ ics and only on the death of whites. Baker moved that the president send a letter of support and sympathy to 1) the family of David Webster, 2) his university, and 3) the Detainees' Parents' Support Commit­ tee. The letter would express the Board's distress about the impact of the killing on aca­ demic freedom and life in South Africa. Berger seconded the motion which passed.

12. Fulbright Program The Board considered a request by Carol Thompson that it take a position on the pro­ posed restructuring of the Fulbright Program. A planned reorganization of the Fulbright governance system would create the 1. William Fulbright Scholarship Board to oversee the program in the place of the Board of Foreign Scholarships. The Executive Committee, having reviewed a portion of the proposed legislation and the composition of the Fulbright Board, reported that the proposed changes would not improve the problem of possible politicization of the Fulbright program. The present system, with control in the hands of a presidentially-appointed Board of Foreign Scholar­ 13 ships, has worked well apart from the Carol Thompson case with USIA officials in Zim­ babwe (ASA News, vol. XX, no. 2, Apr/June 1987). Baker moved that the Board accept the recommendation of the Executive Committee that the president write a letter to the relevant Senate Committee members indicating 1) that the ASA Board had insufficient information on the entire proposed reappropriations bill, but that from the sections that were available for review, it had considerable doubts about the creation of the J. William Fulbright Board; 2) that the ASA Board reaffirmed its commitment to section (C) [a pledge to maintain academic and artistic freedom] and that it desired to insure the selection of candidates by the application of academic standards and by academically qualified personnel; and 3) that the ASA Board had concerns about the va­ gueness of section (D), which would empower the J. William Fulbright Board to revoke a Fulbright grant for "good cause." Isaacman seconded the motion which passed.

13. Botswana Review The Board considered a request by the Botswana Review for the use of the ASA mailing list. Seidman moved that the mailing list not be rented to the Review and that ad­ vertising not be accepted from the Review. Issacman seconded the motion which passed.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING Sunday, May 7, 1989. 9:00 am. Room Essex B, Hyatt Regency Hotel, Atlanta

Present: Ottenberg (Chair), Azevedo, Baker, Barnes, Berger, Gephart, lsaacman, Miller, Nketia. Nzongola-Ntalaja, Bay (Exec. Sec.) Guest: Rosemary Hynes

1. Annual Meeting Rosemary Hynes, coordinator for the Annual Meeting, and Bay reported on plans for the 1989 Annual Meeting: Considerable funding has been acquired that includes: up to $25,100 from Emory University, $2000 from Agnes Scott College and $3000 from Coca-Cola through a special program in the office of the mayor of Atlanta. In addition, a grant of $2500 to $5000 is expected from the University of Georgia. Numerous special events are being prepared. An art exhibition of Congolese paint­ ing is being organized by the USIA office in Brazzaville that will be exhibited in the APEX, a museum of the African American experience. A unique film program is being planned by Cheryl Chisolm, director of Atlanta's Third World Film Festival. The program will include a series of 35mm films that were featured at the 1989 Ouagadougou film festi­ val plus appearances by three to four African filmmakers. A keynote event, the follow-up to the ASA-sponsored Hom of Africa conference, is being organized by Richard Joseph at the Carter Center of Emory University. Hosted by former President Jimmy Carter, the con­ ference will take place on Thursday, November 2, and be open to a limited number of ASA participants. Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young will speak on Thursday evening; his appear­ ance will be followed by a welcoming reception for all participants in the Annual Meeting. Finally, a series of local attractions will be featured, including tours of the 14

Martin Luther King historic district and a performance of "Heaven Bound" by the choirs of the Big Bethel A.M.E. Church. Some 90 panel and 100 individual proposals have been received to date. Several more proposed by the ALA and ACASA are expected. The disciplinary distribution in­ cludes 30% policy related: political science, development and international relations; 15% anthropology/sociology; 15% economics; 15% history; 10% health; and 5% women's studies. Various thematically-related series of panels are planned. on AIDS, law in colonial Africa, and other subjects, plus four SSRC-sponsored research overview papers. Following the report, the Board received the resignation of Ku-ntima Makidi as Program Chair and agreed to vest authority over the Atlanta program in the Program Com­ mittee as a whole. Ottenberg reported that Gephart and Bay would meet in the near future to discuss plans for 1990 with Program Chair Willie Lamouse-Smith. An offer from David Wiley of Michigan State University to host the 1991 Annual Meeting was presented. Board members raised several objections: that travel to a city the size of East Lansing would be difficult and costly, that participants would not be able to be housed in a single convention hotel, and that the sessions could not all be held in a single facility. Several other sites were suggested and the Executive Secretary was asked to contact them. Board members discussed possible panel organizers for the 1991 meeting and Gephart was charged with making preliminary contacts with those individuals. Ottenberg reported that Africanists at the University of Washington in Seattle wished to host the 1992 Annual Meeting, though no commitment had yet been obtained from the university.

2. Distinguished Africanist Award Nzongola-Ntalaja moved that the Board accept the recommendation for the awarding of the Distinguished Africanist Award made by the Selection Committee for 1989. John Hunwick and Igor Kopytoff were thanked for their work on the comminee.

3. Nominating Committee Board members compiled a priority list of persons to be invited to fill the three non-Board positions on the Nominating Committee.

4. Institut des Peuples Noirs Nketia described the founding of an institute in Burkina Faso with the purpose of fostering research on all topics. The institute is independent of university support and will not replace any existing research center. It currently is in need of organizational and management advice. Board members recommended that the director be encouraged to visit the US.

S. Denial of Visas to South Africa Nzongola-Ntalaja cited the case of Robert Edgar of Howard University in recom­ mending that the Board act on the denial of visas to research scholars by the South African government. The Board agreed to send a letter to the US State Department asking that pressure be put on South Africa to grant visas to scholars for academic research. Copies of the letter will be sent to Congressman Howard Wolpe, to Senator Paul Simon, and to the chairs of the House and Senate Foreign Relations Committees. 15

CAFLIS

ASA members who have followed the eAFUS debate will recall that we reported in April (ASA News, Aprilflune 1989, pp. 24-25) that a subcommittee of the eAFUS co­ alition was at work on a draft proposal to create a national entity to support foreign lan­ guage and international studies activities. This proposed entity would not initially incor­ porate extant international programs such as Title VI or the Fulbright Program. The following letters summarize key segments of the debate as they affected the ASA position on the eAFUS draft proposal this spring. Both refer to a draft that was under revision in April-May. Following the exchange of these letters. the text of the revised version was circulated to members of the Board of the ASA upon its completion in late May. Board members' individual responses were generally positive; several agreed that many ofthe concerns raised in the letter by Reid Reading had been addressed. Another meeting of eAFLIS Working Group I, the body of eAFLIS members considering the federal entity proposal, took place on June 26. As of this writing, we have not heard the outcome ofthe Working Group's response to the latest draft proposal.

Professor Edna Bay Mrican Studies Association

Dear Edna: As two Title VI National Resource Center directors, we want to share with you our opinions about the developing proposals for a new national entity for foreign language and international studies (FLIS). The two of us were invitied to serve on the Coalition for the Advancement of Foreign Language and International Studies (CAFLIS) and have regularly attended meetings of Working Group I concerning "Federal Support for Interna­ tional Competence." 16

From the beginning of these conversations, the two of us have been concerned about potential dangers of this initiative to Title VI program funding, because both of our area studies centers are highly dependent on that program and fellowship funding. Both of us also have been concerned for many years about the dangers of any linkage between area studies and government military and intelligence programs. Indeed, the Mrican studies centers nationally were the source of warnings about this issue almost a decade ago. One of us (David Wiley) even cataloged the problems of alternatives to Title VI programs at a panel of Title VI directors at the last USED directors' conference in Washington in October. We remember too well the shibboleth in 1979 among FLIS specialists testify­ ing at the President's Commission on Foreign Language and International Studies-that Title VI was "dead" and that "you cannot breathe new life into a tired old horse like Title VI." All this proved to be a premature post mortem, we are happy to note. Our conclusions about the new CAFLIS proposals are the following: While believ­ ing that we must continue our annual struggle to renew and increase Title VI funding as the backbone of area studies resources (which both of us currently are pursuing), we believe that area studies specialists should also support the proposal for a new national entity to fund FLIS. We believe that we have more to benefit than to lose in the process and the potential outcome. First, we believe there is some possibility that the effort to create a National En­ dowment for FLIS (or National Foundation) might succeed. A decade of news about the international ignorance of US students, teachers, faculty, business people and civil ser­ vants has accumulated. The strongest sense ever has developed in this country that the United States needs FLIS knowledge in order to achieve its economic, social, political and value goals abroad. Ifwe ever succeed in achieving greater resources, we must depend on the support of politicians and opinion leaders who view FLIS as a means to solve the national prob­ lems of balance of payments, debt, energy security, and loss of national stature. Now is the moment to attempt to capitalize on this public opinion, when we have a new admin­ istration, faced with balance of payments and trade problems abroad, strongly interested in increasing US competitiveness abroad, and seeking to establish a reputation as an edu­ cation administration. We may well fail to achieve the $300 mill of new funding which we think is a minimum beginning (six times Title VI current levels), but we believe it would be a mistake not to make an attempt. Second, there is a clear agreement in this Working Group that funding we seek for any new national entity will be directed to new FLIS activities and will not preempt the funding of existent federal FLIS programs-not Title VI, Title VIII, Fulbright-Hays, or FLIS programs in NEH, NSF, HIH, USIA, State Department and others. Furthermore, there is a clear consensus among the CAFLIS Working Group members about the need to work actively for the continuation and enlarged funding for Title VI and other FLIS programs. Third, we believe there are no more dangers of politicization of control of FLIS than any other federal funding. All of us know ofcases of political interference and influence on a range of federal programs-Fulbright-Hays, Title VI, NEH (remember "The Mri­ cans" series), not to mention the loyalty oaths of early fellowships of the Title VI Na­ 49

RECENT MEETINGS

All-Africa Student Conference, June 2 - 4, 1989, at Wartburg College, Waverly, Iowa. The primary task of the Conference was to develop a statement on the conference theme of "African Leadership." Forty African countries were represented by the 282 par­ ticipants, who gathered from colleges and universities in 33 states and Canada. "A high sense of solidarity permeated the entire Conference," according to Martin Kieti, a Kenya student from Fordham University, chairperson for the event. To sustain this spirit the Conference established coordinators for nine regions across the continent The Conference Statement called for an end to all repression and corruption and for "true participatory government, accountability, freedom of the press, and human rights." Heavy emphasis was given to cooperation between African countries, to Afro-centric cul­ tural solidarity, and to full equality for women. The most spontaneous outburst during the deliberations came over the "Women in Leadership" section with the proposal that men should be involved in household activi­ ties. However, the statement was left standing, and two of the three new people elected to the Conference Planning Committe were women. Copies of the Statement are available from the All-Africa Student Conference Office at Wartburg College, Waverly, Iowa 50677. The next Conference will be June 1 - 3, 1990.

Conference of the Consortium for Human Rights Development (CORD) of the University of Denver and Iliff Seminary, May 5, 1989 in Denver, Colorado. The on-going controversy over the nature of the impact of sanctions on South Africa was explored from various points of view. The discussion was organized around five research papers that had been prepared by faculty of the CORD and adjunct scholars. 30

The general direction of the debate was over what types of economic measures would intensify movement toward acceptance of negotiation by the Nationalist Government. Haider Khan, an economist, found that the capital sector of the economy was more strongly impacted than labor. Charles Becker felt the South African Government was under strong pressure not to become another Latin American third world economy. Ved Nanda insisted the US and the world had an obligation to move toward comprehensive sanctions. And George Shepard maintained that existing sanctions were helping to divide the Nationalist Government and push them toward negotiations rather than the right wing. Stephen Davis believed that sanctions were now accepted policy in the US and wondered why the Bush administration had not come to accept this reality. The State Department was represented by David Passage who maintained that sanc­ tions were ineffective and indeed counter-productive, although the Bush Administration intended to enforce those sanctions on the books. Sanford Wright urged movement toward sanctions on strategic minerals, as the costs to the US were vastly exaggerated by official publications. The CORD at the University of Denver was formed with a major Ford Foundation Grant in 1988 to facilitate the preparation of professional human rights monitors and to promote research on human rights and development.

William Street. District Six by Hettie Adams and Hermoine Suttner. Published by Chameleon Press, P.O. Box 117 Plumstead 7800, South Africa, R15 plus p&p. Like Sophiatown in Johannesburg. District Six was a vibrant urban area of mixed peoples, noted for its warm and lively blend of cultures. To the authorities, it was a slum; to the people who lived there it was home, and they have never forgotten it. They were banished to bare outlying suburbs of the Cape, and bulldozers came to demolish their homes. But the site is still the focus of memories-like the story of Hettie Adams. who grew up in District Six, a story that is raw, funny and poignant. She has an eye for detail and a memory for a grudge or a favor that has never let go of the people she knew. Hermoine Suttner, her co-author, has caught the authentic tone of the district. its patois and its deftant courage.

Therefore, we believe that a new national entity will have at least as much ifnot more freedom from political interference in academic de­ cision-making as have the current federal funding sources, on which we rely. Fourth, we believe there has been, is, and will be adequate time for FLIS associa­ tions and centers to debate the wisdom of the final CAFLIS proposal. CAFLIS itself is allotting two full years for this discussion. Already the overwhelming majority of the members of two CAFLIS working groups have indicated their general support for at­ tempting to develop a new national entity. Over the months ahead, each of us is and will be encouraged to comment on the final working document. The final document will be a concept and criteria document to guide legislative drafting. Undoubtedly, it will not suit every single interest of every constituency in language and international studies, in K-12 and graduate education, in community college and research universities. However, we believe that the broad and many specific interests of all international educators will be served by significant new funding for FLIS. Finally, we urge you to join us in a formal vote of support for the direction of the enclosed draft proposal both in your separate associations and in the Council of Area Studies Associations-to be communicated to CAFLIS and other relevant organizations to build support for this effort. Sincerely yours, Gilbert W. Merkx David S. Wiley Director, Latin American Institute Director, African Studies Center University of New Mexico Michigan State University

Professor Gilbert Merkx University of New Mexico

Dear Gil: NCASA included as one of the agenda items for its April 5 meeting a discussion of the latest developments in CAFLIS, in hopes of reaching a common point of view on the third draft proposal prepared for CAFLIS Working Group I, which you coauthored. We find substantial differences between the draft proposal and the letter that you and David Wiley sent us on March 28, 1989; for example, the letter indicates that the pro­ posed new entity would not absorb existing programs, in apparent contrast to the draft proposal. On this and other points, we are hopeful that the contradictions can be solved in the direction of the letter, which NCASA found to be reasonable and one that we can support, with some reservations as noted below. I also find the letter to be essentially in harmony with LASA policy as stated by LASA President Paul Drake on two occasions. . .. I was asked to compose this letter, pointing out a couple of troubling areas in the draft proposal that your letter does not address. All of us found disappointing, if not repelling, those portions of the draft proposal stating why more attention to the area of international studies is needed and the rationale, 18 generally, for the pursuit of this area of interest by US students. "Effective competition in world markets and ... the effective conduct of the nation's foreign policy" appear as examples both of the thrust of these rationales and the ordering of the priorities. Most of us who have had extensive contact with foreign countries realize that among the most important reasons for studying things international are the intellectual ones. Being an internationalist is life-enriching; we are exposed to fascinating aspects of our planet. Most of us hold life more in awe, and may even revere it more because of the privileges of witnessing huge slices of it, of reading its literature and experiencing its culture in various forms. But these reasons, nonmaterial as they are, still are selfish reasons for dealing in the international arena. Are we so compelled by what we think are the pragmatic, political reasons for stressing "competition in world markets" that we cannot even mention the contributions that can be made to international understanding, or the making of world citizens in our search for lasting peace? These are more abstract, granted, and for some, even suspect, but as potential opinion leaders perhaps we should not be afraid to bring these ideas out in bold relief if we are bent on bringing out the best that the United States has to offer. There is one brief reference to the contribution of international studies to addressing "environmental, health, and other problems of worldwide conse­ quence," but the service aspect, put in non-patronizing terms, seems seriously under­ stressed in the proposal. A second concern regards politicization of the new entity. Representatives of NCASA affiliates always have beeen sympathetic with arguments about the dangers of centralization and the loss of autonomy over the curriculum at all levels of education. However good the intentions of those who want high and uniform curriculum standards. there is little enthusiam for the idea of a "master plan" for teaching international studies. One person in attendance at the meeting also brought up again the dangers of being per­ ceived by our colleagues in other countries as being tied too closely to the US govern­ ment. The new entity. were it to assume substantial responsibility for setting directions for and funding of international research and education, would contribute to those percep­ tions. NCASA represents organizations that have been in the forefront ofadvancing educa­ tion and research on international and cross-cultural themes. There is no desire to be ob­ structionist nor to stifle creative thinking, particularly in light of how much needs to be done to bring education about international themes up to an acceptable level. By the same token, however, there are longstanding values that need to be defended. Our hopes are that NCASA's views along these lines will be taken into account Sincerely, Reid Reading Executive Director, LASA 19

GUIDELINES FOR LIBRARIANS INTERACTING WITH SOUTH AFRICA

In light of the continuing crisis in South Africa, numerous organizations, both within that country and worldwide, have called for a total boycott to isolate the South African regime. However. with the enormous growth of the South African democratic movement and its alternative structures. the international boycott has been modified in order to support that movement while still isolating the apartheid regime. Because librarians have a special role in providing information. guidelines are especially necessary to define our role under current circumstances. These guidelines were adopted by the Archives-Libraries Committee of the African Studies Association at its spring meeting at the University of Florida on April 12-15. 1989. They are loosely based on the format and content of similar guidelines developed by the academic staff of the University of Witwatersrand. South Africa. in March 1988. The guidelines are published here in the expectation that ASA members may wish to share them with their own library staff and to consider the extension of these principles to general academic contacts with South Africa.

1,0 GuIding principles

1.1 We support and uphold the values of a free. democratic and non-racial society and therefore totally oppose the South African system of government based on race known as apartheid. 1.2 We oppose all institutions which contribute to the continuation of apartheid. 1.3 We are committed to excellence in the performance of our professional responsibili­ ties. 1.4 We are committed to social responsibility as one of our highest priorities. 1.5 Libraries should provide and promote services that are appropriate to the needs of communities that they serve. 1.6 Research is enriched in excellence and social value through an exchange of ideas that occurs locally and internationally. 1.7 Meaningful research is impossible without full and uncensored access to informa­ tion. 1.8 Libraries do not exist in isolation from the dominant trends and conflicts in the world arena.

2.0 The Issue

2.1 We take serious note of the international campaign to isolate the South African Gov­ ernment and its apartheid structures. 2.2 We note that the international cultural boycott has recently been modified to exclude people and organizations that are contributing to the struggle to abolish apartheid. 2.3 We note that the free flow of information to and from South Africa is of benefit to the evolution of South African democracy. 2.4 We note that the Government of South Africa does everything in its power to deny the free flow of information deemed useful to the mass democratic movement, both do­ mestically and in the international arena. 2.5 We note that the Government of South Africa engages in a substantial and sophisti­ 20 cated worldwide propaganda campaign to assert its legitimacy, using every conceivable medium including the free distribution of publications. 2.6 As professionals, we must strive to balance our methods to promote the free flow of information with work activities that are morally and politically responsible.

3.0 General Recommendations

3.1 Librarians should encourage discussion and debate on the South African situation. 3.2 Librarians are encouraged to express their outrage concerning the continued exis­ tence of the apartheid South African Government. 3.3 Librarians are encouraged to work within the political process to isolate the South African Government and all apartheid institutions. 3.4 Librarians are encouraged to be of service to the South African mass democratic movement in the context of their professional work. 3.5 Librarians should attempt to educate members of their institutions to be aware of the SUbtleties of the South African Government's propaganda campaign. 3.6 Librarians should become aware of the democratic and support organizations con­ cerned with South Africa operating in the United States and elsewhere.

1,0 Recommendations for Collection Development. Reference Service ilDd Qutreilch

4.1 We recognize the need to build balanced collections relating to South Africa. Because the South African Government maintains a large worldwide program to distribute free pro-apartheid materials to libraries and other institutions, librarians are especially encouraged to aggressively acquire and publicize counter materials, especially those published by the mass democratic and liberation movements. 4.2 In their reference interactions and teaching responsibilities, librarians should strive to encourage library users to develop the critical skills necessary to evaluate, interpret and understand the underlying intentions of various sources of material about South Africa. 4.3 Through direct contact, guides, and bibliographies, librarians should publicize and provide access to a variety of sources of information, including possibly conflicting pres­ entations of statistics and other facts, as well as expressions of differing points of view, and assist in interpreting these presentations. 4.4 Librarians should take the opportunity whenever possible to provide bibliographies and reading lists to support school and community activities such as films, programs and other public events, as well as to supplement media coverage of South Africa.

5,0 Recommendations Regarding ProfeSSional Travel to South Afrfcil

5.1 Before travelling to South Africa, librarians should ask how the trip will benefit the library and academic communities here and in South Africa. For example, can hard to get material be acquired; would valuable skills be transferred; or would useful pUblicity be created? Talks and seminars at, or contractual relationships with apartheid institutions should be limited to exceptional circumstances. 5.2 Librarians should ask if the trip will in any way further the interests of apartheid. For example, will contact be limited to white librarians?
